The report features eight REDD+/LED programs worldwide designed to reduce forest-related emissions,
and will serve as a resource for practitioners, forest country governments, donors and others
working to advance jurisdictional models at a large landscape scale.

This manual was created through a collaborative effort of the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity
Alliance (CCBA); Conservation International (CI); GTZ; The Nature Conservancy (TNC); Rainforest
Alliance (RA); and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The manual contains basic information on various
aspects of REDD, including: forests' role in climate change, drivers of deforestation,
strategies to reduce deforestation, REDD technical elements, international policy context, social
considerations, biodiversity and ecosystem considerations, national-level activities, project
standards, and project development. It was created to support training workshops that our
organizations are implementing in various countries, but can also serve as a source of background
information for those new to REDD.
